As some of you may or may not know, I will be heading off to Lund, Sweden to an Economic History workshop on November 23rd (Black Friday). It is semi-official now that I finally purchased the tickets. With my newly received passport, I'm all set to go, I just need to find places to stay.

I'm a bit nervous as this is my first time out of the United States and will be flying by myself and disappointed that I will be out of the United States for Thanksgiving, the last couple of years Gabe and I threw a pretty good Thanksgiving party.

I will be spending some time in both Sweden and Denmark, so I will have to find a couple of things to do. I picked up the "Rough Guides" to both countries and will be scouring the books for things to do and places to stay. I'll be in Europe for a little over a week, that should give me time to see some sights without blowing my budget. It may not be the greatest time of the year to go, but I cannot imagine the weather being any worse than what I would find in Minnesota at that time of year.

If you have any recommendations on various places to check out, feel free to leave a comment.
